Hi,

after installing autofs from the normal repo I was greeted with

so apparently --ghost is not valid anymore and should be removed from the wiki and config files

Hi.

I can only read the cd/dvd drive in root after manually load the module as su.
I have added the command to the script and didn't work.

Using /media for autoFS seems like a bad idea. It appears to take over the directory and hides any other folders in it, so drives mounted to /media via /etc/fstab will not work properly with autofs mounting to /media. Perhaps we should change this to /media/autofs or something else.

I've done a major rewrite of the article, added the suggestions above, also added a network mount section and commented ambiguous tweaks from the original article. Litemotiv 09:21, 15 February 2009 (EST)

Would it also be possible to cover the use of autofs together with NIS? (Or should that go on the page about NIS?) - Magus 05:31, 7 May 2010 (EDT)

AutoFS doesn't seem to exist in the repositories, only in the AUR.

Didn't Work
